Is gender merely a social construct? Is it possible to be a “gay Christian”? How should Christians respond to transgenderism and homosexuality? Does the Church have good news for those struggling with their sexual identity?

The theme of 2019 Blue Ridge Bible Conference is Gender, Sexuality, and What It Means to Be Human. This two-day conference will examine the challenges presented to the Church and society by the new sexual revolution and current confusion over gender. Where did all of this confusion come from and will these massive changes in culture impact the Church’s ministry? We will explore how the Bible shapes our understanding of human identity, gender, and sexual ethics, and will consider how the Church can offer the Gospel to those whose lives are touched by confusion and sin.
